Santosh Beverages

We are Santosh Beverages, situated right on the Main Road in Araku Valley. If you know the area, our building is Dr.No.9-56/2. Being up here in the valley means we get a lot of travelers passing through, along with the local people who live here year-round. Our main thing is just keeping a good supply of beverages ready for whoever stops by. The weather here can be beautiful, but the work is still steady. I spend a lot of time dealing with deliveries and making sure the storage area is organized. It’s a bit of a climb for the trucks sometimes, but they make it eventually. The shop isn't anything special to look at, just a sturdy place on the main road where we do our business. I’ve lived in Araku for a long time, so I’m used to the pace of things here. It gets very busy during the tourist season, and then it’s much quieter when the rains come. We just keep the doors open and do what needs to be done. Sometimes the electricity acts up, which is a headache for keeping things cold, but we have our ways of managing. It’s a simple life running a shop like this. We aren't a big corporation, just a local business trying to stay consistent for the community and the people driving through the valley. It is a lot of effort, but we stay at it daily.
